Abstract

Background: The Gaze Stabilization Test (GST) assesses vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) function by determining the maximum head velocity at which an individual can accurately perceive a fixed-size visual target. There is limited information about gaze stability performance in youth athletes.

Objective: The purpose of this study is to describe baseline performance of athletes ages 17 years and under on a computerized GST and explore the influence of demographic characteristics on performance.

Methods: Baseline GST and demographic data were acquired via retrospective chart review.

Results: The sample included 106 athletes aged 8 to 17 years (mean 13.9 years±1.79; 78% male). The median values for baseline GST function were 180 (IQR: 150-210) degrees per second (d/sec) in the leftward direction, and 190 d/sec (IQR: 160-220) in the rightward direction. There were no significant effects of sex/gender or concussion history on GST performance.

Conclusions: The GST is one of many tools available for clinicians to use in a multi-modal approach to concussion management. Understanding how healthy young athletes perform can assist clinicians in determining vestibular impairment, formulating the exercise prescription, and estimating physiologic recovery.

青少年运动员注视稳定性:一项规范性观察研究。

背景:凝视稳定测试(GST)通过确定个体能够准确感知固定尺寸视觉目标的最大头部速度来评估前庭眼反射(VOR)功能。关于青少年运动员注视稳定性表现的信息有限。目的:本研究的目的是在计算机GST上描述17岁及以下运动员的基线表现，并探讨人口统计学特征对表现的影响。方法:通过回顾性图表回顾获得基线GST和人口统计数据。结果:共纳入8 ~ 17岁运动员106例(平均13.9岁±1.79岁;78%的男性)。基准GST函数的中值为向左180 (IQR: 150-210)度/秒(d/秒)，向右190 (IQR: 160-220)度/秒。性别/性别或脑震荡史对GST表现没有显著影响。结论:GST是临床医生在多模式脑震荡治疗中使用的众多工具之一。了解健康的年轻运动员的表现可以帮助临床医生确定前庭损伤，制定运动处方，并估计生理恢复。

期刊介绍： Journal of Vestibular Research is a peer-reviewed journal that publishes experimental and observational studies, review papers, and theoretical papers based on current knowledge of the vestibular system. Subjects of the studies can include experimental animals, normal humans, and humans with vestibular or other related disorders. Study topics can include the following: Anatomy of the vestibular system, including vestibulo-ocular, vestibulo-spinal, and vestibulo-autonomic pathways Balance disorders Neurochemistry and neuropharmacology of balance, both at the systems and single neuron level Neurophysiology of balance, including the vestibular, ocular motor, autonomic, and postural control systems Psychophysics of spatial orientation Space and motion sickness Vestibular rehabilitation Vestibular-related human performance in various environments
